Touching reunion was a long, long time coming

A retired teacher in a suburb of Chongqing has finally been reunited with his long-lost brothers and sisters - after 70 years.

The retired middle school teacher, Zhang Tingrong, had been sent off to live with another family in the same county, in the summer of 1942, when he was only 7 months old, because his poverty-stricken family had five children.
